Egypt says it rejects ‘misleading accusations’ made by Netanyahu in US media
Egypt disapproves of statements made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in US media, describing them as “misleading accusations,” the country’s foreign ministry says.
In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu accused Egypt of preventing Gazans from leaving the territory. “Some would bribe the gatekeepers,” he said. “So, the very rich got out, but those who wanted to leave couldn’t,” he added, arguing that Palestinians in Gaza should be given the option to relocate.
It is unclear if the foreign ministry is referring to the Fox News interview.
